korean treasure

This is a wonderful piece of korean culture for your family. we are a Korean family and are so excited to share our traditional stories in English to our baby and growing family. As we don't speak Korean well, it's so nice we can enjoy these stories in English. The illustrations are very classic, lovely and traditional. It is written and illustrated by Koreans and has over 10 very popular Korean folk tales. I have given this book to another Korean family and just purchased another one for our family for our library. Truly a treasure.
